TAISHO x ALICE episode 3

Taisho x Alice Episode 3 is a fantasy otome visual novel inspired by classic fairy tales. It features a choice driven structure with multiple bad endings and one happy ending for each love interest. The game is developed by Primula and published by Pencil. It supports Steam achievements and is fully playable on the Steam Deck. One of the most interesting aspects of the game is its cast. The male love interests are based on well known fairy tale characters, and they are gender swapped. Episode I focuses on Cinderella and Red Riding Hood. Episode 2 focuses on Gretel and Kaguya. Episode 3 focuses on Snow White and the Wizard. The epilogue centers on Alice. The story begins with a prologue where you play as a female protagonist who awakens in a world of darkness with no memories. You cannot even remember your own name. Soon, you meet a short blond haired boy with blue eyes and a sharp tongue. He also has amnesia. Despite his rude attitude, your protagonist responds with confidence and matches his remarks. Since neither of you remembers your names, you decide to choose new ones. You take the name Arisu, while he takes the name Alice. As you walk together, you arrive at a giant mirror t…

Taisho x Alice Episode 3, developed by Primula and published by Pencil, is the third installment in a uniquely structured visual novel series that combines fairy-tale motifs, romantic storytelling, and psychological depth. Continuing the overarching narrative that began in the first two episodes, this chapter further unravels the mysteries of the mirror world while offering two new routes centered on the reimagined characters of Snow White and the Wizard. As in the previous episodes, the story begins with the heroine awakening in a dark void devoid of memory, encountering the mysterious Alice, and entering the mirror world where familiar fairy-tale characters have been inverted into fresh and sometimes surprising forms. What sets this episode apart is its more mature tone and emotional complexity. While earlier entries leaned heavily into whimsical romance, Episode 3 begins to reveal the darker foundations of the series’ world, transforming what seemed like a simple fairy-tale setting into a layered narrative about trauma, identity, and redemption. The game’s writing and structure reflect a growing sense of cohesion and ambition. Each route feels more purposeful and intricately wo…

Here, in episode 3, things take a very sharp curve into darkness. Not like they hadn't already; we saw as much in Gretel and Kaguya's routes. But here, things start to connect in ways I never could have thought. Even when I assumed I had it figured out, I was wrong. The plot thickened and the sky crashed down on me each time something new was uncovered. In this episode, we have Snow White, and the Wizard. Their importance is insane. Gone are the fluffy, sweet moments we had in episode 1, or even the comedy we experienced in episode 2 here and there. This one hits you over the head continuously with pain, anguish, sorrow. I honestly thought they had labelled this piece as a psychological horror the way things unravelled. But, by god, was it an amazing experience. I loved it so much. I do wish we had more one on one time with these two love interests as it feels like they were shorted a bit in terms of their own personalities in favor of the main story. Yet, it worked out, because I found myself gasping and freaking out with every piece of lore. This entry into the series clears up a lot of unanswered questions, though not all. A lot changes here, and it gets muddled and a bi…
